Jolene struggled to be still when she thought of the things which her family would face! She wanted to beg for them and said that she might betray her Commander but she didn't commit treason and she never would! However...

She heard 'her' Commander's voice and she gave her a side glance, not daring to look up.
"Please allow me to say something."
King Tobias glanced at Iria with a hint of confusion. But still, he nodded. "Go ahead."
Iria Alewine dropped to her knees. "Jolene is the General of Alewine Army. As the Commander, please allow me to punish her as per the rule of my Alewine Army. I beg you, Your Majesty. As the Commander, I'm also willing to accept any punishment for failing to maintain my soldiers and caused this mess."
Commander Iria felt the gaze of Jolene on her but she ignored it. Then after a quick thought, the King spoke up.
